Occidental Petroleum: I'm Turning More Bearish (Rating Downgrade)

Summary Occidental Petroleum is downgraded from Hold to Sell due to unsustainable valuation and deteriorating core performance metrics. Falling oil and NGL prices, combined with rising US production, are expected to pressure OXY's earnings and suppress future revenues. OXY's adjusted EBITDA is forecast to decline to $10.6–$10.9 billion in 2027, driving EV/EBITDA to a premium 7.17x when including Berkshire's preferreds. Shareholder dilution, weak unit economics, and ineffective cost controls further undermine the bull case, favoring midstream exposure over upstream volatility. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Summary ONEOK remains a core long position, complemented by writing puts to generate 'income' and potentially increase exposure opportunistically on a pullback. OKE trades ever so slightly below its five-year average forward EV/EBITDA, which makes it only modestly attractive on the valuation front. With guidance for continued growth in EBITDA and EPS, that can continue to support a growing dividend and likely lead to potential long-term upside. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
